    The problem is people have completely different assumptions about jump and and are arguing from very different starting points... (Those of you here that have figured this out are likely also pulling your hair out reading some of the posts here)

    Anyhow, I think I can sum it up as follows.

    Option A) IF Jump does nothing at all but act as an emote, then /Jump is indeed a waste of resources. In addition, many players would like add a toggle to it (and all emotes) to spare them from the bunny hoppers. -- a reasonable request.

    Option B) IF Jump has real relevance in game-play, (allows players to climb short cliffs, fences, etc..) then a toggle for it would be pointless, and those asking for it are being extremely picky.

    The real problem with this thread is that many people don't want to admit that Option A now is 99% confirmed.

    People can argue about wanting Option B all day long, but this isn't the thread for it. This thread is predicated on the very real indication that Option A is what we are getting.

    Until we hear otherwise, asking for a /jump (and I'd say full /emote) toggle is a perfectly reasonable request.
    99.5% of statistics are made up on the spot. We've had one interview which gave an example that was based around battle mechanics. There's also a screenshot which shows a character jumping off of a cliff. Neither is confirmed or even near confirmed.

    I'm not going to argue translations or whether that lala was really jumping off a cliff, or conspiracy theory type BS...

    I stand by my opinion with both options.

    If Option A, then it's useless and I think we should get a toggle.

    If Option B, I would be much happier with jump overall, and we should not get a toggle.


    I think most intelligent people could agree on this...

    certainly agree and I doubt Ingolf disagrees seems he was specifically talking about the 99% confirmed I would say its 50/50

    The OP should have said:

    IF jump is a useless emote-style action, then I would like to see a visibility toggle for it.
    Hmmm.. sounds reasonable...
